The Magic Trackpad comes with a USB-C (computer) to Lightning (Magic Trackpad) cable.

(I agree with you, for what it's worth - Apple is weirdly slow to update some of their products; AirPods Max stand out here as missing USB-C and the lossless audio of AirPods Pro.)

You're right, and it doesn't break compatibility with USB (curse the idea of MFi on PC) which is the important part.

Still, it makes my relatively-new Magic Trackpad 2 feel old and alien. Whatever reason there was for Lightning is lost me when I can't juice my peripherals up with the same cable that charges my Macbook.
